Custom Tours

As you wish...

How do you want to experience Kyoto? Visit some of the most famous temples and shrines? Try local food? Go hiking? Experience an authentic tea ceremony? Search for maiko in Gion? See the best gardens in Japan? Shop for specific goods and souvenirs? The possibilities are endless...

Using bits and pieces of our existing tours, as well as a little imagination and research, KyoTours can craft a custom experience for you. Let us know what you want to do and see, and we can take you on the perfect tour through Kyoto. Custom tours are a great chance to explore of the city's lesser known areas. For example, the rock garden pictured below isn't found on any of our standard itineraries... or any other tours in the the city that we know of!

Multiple day tours are available as well. There's a lot to see in Kyoto, and we often suggest splitting it up into two days so as not to rush through the best spots.

Don't want to walk? We've partnered with a private luxury van service to provide unparalleled comfort and speed as we skip the trains and walking to arrive in style.

Our promise: we can create the perfect Kyoto tour for you based on your interests, budget, and schedule.
